Hello,

I've noticed a little bug in Empathy related to Ubuntu notify-osd and
french language : for example, when a contact connects, a notification
appears to inform on that event, and in french the text for Empathy is:

"XXXXX s'est connecté"

Problem, certainly due to character encoding, is that the accent ' is
transformed in code "&apos;"

In Pidgin there is not such problem as text for connection notification
is "XXXXX est en ligne", without accent. In Pidgin also notifications
which have content of the contacts messages show well the accents or
letters like "é".

Tested with last version of Empathy ppa on Ubuntu Karmic.

Best regards.
